My Question or Issue

 

Spotify Desktop App suddenly will not stream.

Error message: "Spotify can't play this right now. If you have the file on your computer you can import it"

 

I tried a LOT of other solutions yesterday- redownloading the app, deleting all local files, hardware acceleration, going in and out of offline mode, etc.

 

What is odd is that it will ONLY play Local Files. When I go to Local Files, it's 3 completely random songs, and 1 podcast.

 

This is a work laptop, so I can't be downloading all the music I want to stream.

 

Please help!!! Thank You!

Same here

PC app is totally bugged. My profile icon doesn't show my profile picture, any songs that aren't from local files can't or don't play, and no podcasts play either.
